The Importance of Family and Marriage for Russian Women

The tradition that everyone should love their own home and protect their family is instilled into Russians from early childhood. When men start dating Russian women online, they quickly learn the importance of family in their lives. It's a popular topic of conversation since family often comes first.

The meaning of the family in Russia is not limited to the husband, wife and children. It stretches to include grandparents, aunts and uncles, brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces. The members communicate constantly with each other and frequently get together, especially for such occasions as birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays.

Plus, living together as an extended family is so common in Russia that it can be called a tradition. It's been always a norm for grandparents, their children and grandchildren to live together as a family in one house.

Since the familial bond is so strong, Russian girls are eager to start forming their own at a young age. While many 18 year olds are focusing on university classes, they are also searching for their soul mates. This is one reason why so many turn to the internet to meet their matches.

Also, according to the latest statistics, marriages between Russians of the same age are much less common. In the majority of Russian families, the husband is four to six years older than his wife but an age difference of more than 10 years is still acceptable by most Russians.

When you read the profiles on HotRussianBrides.com, you'll notice how many mention their desire to start a family, such as DivineLove4U who describes herself as a "young girl who believes in true love and dreaming about a happy family with a beloved man."
